What it does
At the beginning of your upkeep, for each land target player controls in excess of the number you control, choose a land that player controls, then the chosen permanents phase out. Repeat this process for artifacts and creatures. (While they're phased out, they're treated as though they don't exist. They phase in before that player untaps during their next untap step.)

Where it came from
Equipoise was released in 1997 as part of the Visions expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, the set was notable for being the first expansion designed with a cohesive theme, drawing heavy inspiration from Japanese folklore and aesthetics, which moved the game away from its initial medieval European fantasy roots. The card itself was created to introduce a unique board-balancing mechanic that forced players to equalize their land, creature, and artifact counts, reflecting the set's emphasis on harmony and symmetry.
The card features artwork by the illustrator Rebecca Guay, whose distinctive, painterly style became a hallmark of the mid-90s Magic era. Guay was tasked with visually representing the concept of 'equipoise'—a state of equilibrium or balance—which she achieved through soft, ethereal imagery that contrasted with the more rigid, comic-book-influenced art styles prevalent in the game at the time. While the card saw limited competitive play, it remains a favorite among collectors for its specific place in the evolution of the game's visual identity and Guay’s unique contributions to its early lore.
